Curious... Where are you that they are moving away from CF onto .NET and Java(ADF)?

All I am looking to do is when a user fills in their employee number in a form text field, ajax calls CF to run a SQL query to bring back and populate the other fields in the form with that employees info. Is it really that difficult to achieve the above? Are there any ajax/jquery libraries I could use to integrate in with CF because javascript is not be strong point -----Original Message----- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 03 March 2011 15:02 To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Database Lookup - Possible with CF? > So would I be better developing this application in a language that is > more scaleable/future proof than CF You won't be using ASP.NET then, right? Because (a) it's not more scalable, and (b) any platform effectively limited to Windows is not more future-proof. I mean, I could see your point if you were talking about Java, even if I'd quibble on the scalability bit. Having worked with some high-scalability clients, I am very confident that CF is as scalable as .NET. I've mentioned them on the list before, so I'm not going to bother enumerating them now, but I'll be happy to provide further details on request.
